Troy University<\/a>‘s Hall School of Journalism and Communication<\/a> and the Sorrell College of Business<\/a> hosted the annual M. Stanton Evans Journalism Symposium on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium is named after the visiting professor M. Stanton Evans who began coming to Troy in 1980 and this year’s keynote speaker was the author of Evans’ biography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author, Stephen Hayward, met Evans while working as an intern early in his career and said that writing about someone’s life is not an easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Difficult,” says Hayward. “First of all biography is a pretty exacting literary form which I’ve never done before. I’ve never wrote written a formal biography so it’s a challenge because you have to fill in all the gaps and try and get the whole story.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayward believes Evans’ work influenced TROY’s journalism program and that TROY has one of the best programs in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“From what I can tell this is one of the better undergraduate journalism programs anywhere in the country,” says Hayward. “And a lot of universities pride themselves in their programs but I think they’re not as good as the one here. I’d go further and say you probably get a better education in journalism here at TROY than you would get at some of the supposedly fancy graduate schools like Columbia or Northwestern and so it’s a very robust program and I think he gets a lot of credit for inspiring with his example and his own teaching here.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
